Make preference items greyed out if managed via profile or MCX about adpassmon

@prbsparx Why not lock out the preference window? https://github.com/macmule/ADPassMon/wiki/Customization#lock-out-the-preferences-window

The difference is enforcing a single preference item. For instance, I might want to set the password expiration refresh to 12 hours and not allow the end user to change that, but I do want them to be able to enable notifications and set how far ahead it notifies them.
I was actually going to look into this tonight and chat with the group in Slack about how it could be done and what the best method might be.

This can be done with CFPrefs:

import CoreFoundation

domain = 'com.apple.Spotlight'
key = 'parsecEnabled'

key_value = CoreFoundation.CFPreferencesCopyAppValue(key, domain)
print 'Key Value = ', key_value

key_forced = CoreFoundation.CFPreferencesAppValueIsForced(key, domain) 
print 'Key Forced = ', key_forced

with the "CFPreferencesAppValueIsForced" key advising if forced via a profile.

Hi folks,

ADPassmon is no longer maintained, please use NoMAD.

As such, i'm closing this off.
